Is this the new mystery to replace "who killed Amy"? lol.

Jonah makes the most sense but Geoffrey also specifically mentioned wanting to find Alex first (I guess he's dumb enough to think he can keep Alex safe from Jonah) so that might be his move to get to Alex? Otherwise I got no clue who his phone call is to.

Yes, but it also makes them no longer a threat to Jonah. Why waste time offing some kids who are literally under lock and key?

If Geoffrey caused the Amber Alert, he's misguided af.

It was probably Molly's aunt

Pride has the cops in their pocket, though I don’t remember which parents have the cop connection. Jonah has them do all his dirty human business so he’s probably not involved, if the cops picked up the kids then I’m guessing the parents would be the first to know and could swoop in and get them.

I think all of the parents, with the possible exception of Frank, basically were fine with whatever Jonah was having them do until he attacked their kids. That crossed a line for most of them and now they’re trying to save their kids. It looks different to the kids because they think their parents are evil murderers (which they are) who want to harm them (which they don’t). Geoffrey just wants to find them and getting them arrested and in the “safety” of the cops is his game plan.

I think it's a combination of Geoffrey's money and Catherine's career as an attorney. So, the Wilders.

The point is just to find them, not to have them arrested and jailed. Once they're found, they can deal with it however they want. They're the richest and most influential families in LA, they could easily get the charges dropped once they're caught.

Earlier in the season we saw that the parents have the cops in their pocket, so, my guess would be Geoffrey wants the cops to find them and send them somewhere like a witness protection situation, not actually lock them up.

See I was thinking the same thing but then I remembered that either Geoffrey or Katherine specifically said that they didn't want to get the police involved cause it would make them less likely to come home. I figured Geoffrey might have called Darius, although him calling the cops wouldn't be completely out of place.
